Buck-et!

Everyone should have a bucket list, is my personal opinion.  That grand list of goals that you would love to achieve before you kick the actual bucket.

I have had a bucket list for a really long time.  I  collected it's pieces over many years and have actually been able to cross out many of the things that were on the original; Skydiving, scuba diving, traveling alone, to name a few.

I am regularly revising the list as times and my desires change.  What do I add?  Anything! Recently, I had a dream about a submarine and my trip on it over a span of a week.  It was a great dream!  I am always inspired to add to the list by what is going on right now.  A friend, K Crane, artist and art therapist extraordinaire, is working with me to illustrate a children's story so I had to add that one to the list. 

What is on your list?


Here is part of my current list.
